YFSF notes that Tyler Kepner's main sources for his New York Times story on the many home runs hit at Yankee Stadium III are Greg Rybarczyk's hittracker and Steve Lombardi's waswatching, adding:

... as old media wonders how the hell to make money in the new media world, this story shows that blogs are doing yeoman's work and providing key analysis and news outside the bounds of typical news gathering methods. Though we who traffic these sites know this and therefore this assertion may sound uncontroversial, to see two such websites cited on the front page of the Times sports section as his sources by the Yankees' beat writer is a verification and validation of the strengths and speed of the minds (kudos to Greg and Steve) working solely within our own chosen medium.

I was thinking about the damn rays today. I really want the Royals to make something of themselves. They have sucked longer then the rays did. The rays also did not have an established organization yet when they began sucking. Maybe the fresh new approach of an expansion team turns into a good team sooner than a tired old system that refuses to change with the times. So I give it up to the rays of hope from the retirement villa because they sucked for less time then the Royals.

Swisher seems to be the heart of this team. He was waving Matsui in as he himself was running home. He was clapping loudly at Matsui for hitting him over to third. He was just all excited. As opposed to Girardi who looks like he has a bad hangover.

SHIT!Game postponed and no one to brag to. :)MY LL team just won one of those games that you talk about all season. A game so good that it's fun even if you lose it, but oh so much sweeter when you win. They usually happen once or twice a year, and last year we never won one of them. Guess I'll just tell myself!
